VACCINATIONS AND THE DYNAMICS OF CriticAL Days VACCINATIONS AND THE CRITICAL DYNAMICS Days Scientific evidence shows that babies can have severe adverse reactions to vaccinations at critical intervals following their shots, and that vaccination is the more likely cause of cot death and shaken baby syndrome. Dynamics of critical days as part of the dynamics of non-specific stress syndrome discovered during monitoring with Cotwatch breathing monitor ecent editorials in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) by a number of authors have motivated me to publish the results of research into babies’ breathing. This was research that the late Leif Karlsson (a Swedish biomedical electronics engi- neer living in Australia) and I conducted with the Cotwatch breathing monitor, developed by Leif in 1985-86 at my suggestion. Leif died in 1994 and the Cotwatch breathing monitor died with him: I had it delisted with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and since 1994 it has not been distributed. Cotwatch was a true breathing monitor, meaning its electronics separated heartbeat an breathing and only breathing delayed the alarm. The feedback on breathing from the stan- dard home monitor was from alarms (figure 1), while the microprocessor-based unit pro- vided computer printouts of the record of breathing in the form of histograms stacked up at an angle (figure 2) or vertical bars (figures 3, 4), the length of which directly reflecte: the stress level as integrals of the weighted apnoea/hypopnoea density (WAHD). The record of alarms in a baby over a period of five-and-a-half months, from October 1987 to March 1988 (figure 1), reveals that the stress-induced breathing pattern did not subside after 21 days following vaccine administration: it was still continuing on and off (following the critical days) two-and-a-half to three months later; and before really recov- ering from the first lot, the child was given the second injection of DPT and oral polio vaccines. Cotwatch recorded events in breathing: apnoeas (pauses in breathing) and hypopnoeas (low-volume breathing, i.e., below 5% of the volume of normal unstressed breathing). The events were logarithmically weighted (the figures on the vertical axis of the computer printouts are integrals of the WAHD). The first two charts in figure 3 are computer printouts of the record of events in breath- ing in two babies: baby one, who was given the third DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine and OPV (oral polio vaccine); and baby two, who was given the first DPT and OPV. The higher the vertical bar, the higher the stress level in breathing; figure 3 shows flare-ups of stress-induced breathing day by day from day 0 when the vaccines were administered and up to the 17th day. It is obvious that even though baby one reacted much more than baby two, the flare-ups of stressed breathing followed the same pattern of critical days, the most important of these being day 2, after which day the stress level went down and started rising again between days 5 and 7, when the stress level subsided and started increasing again between days 14-16, subsided again and rose again between days 19-24, after which it subsided and rose again towards the 28th day and so on, following closely the pattern of alarms as recorded by a mother of one baby (figure 1). Days 10 or 11 also emerged as critical days in babies who reacted strongly, such as baby one. Needless to say, the increased intensity of reactions after the third DPT injection and OPV reflects the phenomenon of sensitisa- tion (sensitisation in this context means increased deranged immunological response or anaphylaxis; and in the case of vaccines it also means increased susceptibility to the dis- eases that the vaccines are supposed to prevent and to a host of unrelated bacterial and viral infections (Parfentjev, 1955; Craighead, 1975; Daum et al., 1989). The third chart in figure 3 is of 41 actual, randomly listed deaths after DPT and OPV; it can be seen that the distribution of deaths closely follows the dynamics of the flare-ups of stressed breathing of babies one and two after the administration of the DPT vaccine (Bernier et al., 1982, Walker et al., 1987, Coulter and Fisher, 1991). by Viera Scheibner, PhD © 2004 Principal Research Scientist (Retired) 178 Govetts Leap Road Blackheath, NSW 2785 Australia Telephone: +61 (0)2 4787 8203 Fax: +61 (0)2 4787 8203 by Viera Scheibner, PhD © 2004 NEXUS 29 OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2005 www.nexusmagazine.com
